Timer Test: Disconnected wiring harness. At Rx1 with the red lead on the terminal of the TAN COLOR wire and the other test lead across the other terminals one at a time as I turn the timer and getting proper readings of an opening and closing multi-switch. TEST OK.

1) Will the dishwasher operate if I leave the heater element unpluged to see if the element is bad?
2) If the timer motor was bad, wouldn't the machine still try to do all its different things if I simply turned the timer thru its cycle with the door shut? It does not do anything? No Sounds. No Nothing!
3) If the fill valve is bad as it seems, if I attempt to operate the machine with it unplugged would I at least hear sounds of something? I am trying to definitivly find out what is wrong with the machine before I go out and buy enough parts to completely build another machine.

Any suggestions at this stage of the game will be MOST GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED and will probably keep my wife from killing me. Thanks to all and Happy Holidays. Keith (850) 535-9937 www.keithdove.com
